RE: GUIDELINE CHANGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED BY THE
HOUSING BOARD
SUMMARY: The Housing Board has approved some minor changes as well as a few a policy
changes which are being forwarded to you for consideration and, hopefully, adoption by the City
Council and the BOCC. These changes only includes through Part III of the Guidelines. Other
sections will be brought to the BOCC and City Council for review at later dates.
GUIDELINE CHANGE REQUEST: We would like to take this opportunity to ask both the
BOCC and City Council to approve the following Guideline changes. If both City Council and
BOCC endorse the changes, APCHA will bring them to each entity for fmal approval.
Staff has outlined only the major policy changes or additions. The other changes in the attached
Guidelines are minor changes that provide clarification and more concise interpretation of the
procedures that are being utilized by the staff.
Polic~ges and/or Additions:
Page 12 Paragraph #12 is new language that has been recommended by legal counsel,
Tom Smith. This will provide latitude for the Housing Office to deny an
individual access to deed restricted housing under certain circumstances.
Page 14 Pazagraph #4 is new language that has been recommended by legal counsel, Tom
Smith. See pazagraph above.
Page 22 There are two major changes recommended on this page. Language is being
added in pazagraph #10 that allows the APCHA to be more pro active in the
compliance area by conducting random audits on a yearly basis. A random
number of households will be chosen and requested to provide documentation as
to residency in the unit, working full time, and not owning property as specified in
their deed restriction. The documentation could include, but is not limited to, tax
returns, W2's, paycheck stubs, etc.
Page 1
The second change on this page, Paragraph #12, is the same language that is being
requested to be incorporated on Page 12.
Page 24-25 In the first pazagraph, additional language is being added that if someone has
provided false documentation, the household will be disqualified from entering
into any more lotteries. If the household is found that they had provided false
documentation AFTER they purchased a unit, they would be required to sell their
unit and pay an additional 2% fee (for a total of a 4% sales fee) of which would
go into APCHA's legal fund.
Page 29 Paragraph #3 is clarifying the exchange of adeed-restricted unit from a parent to
an adult child. In order for the pazent to do so, the parent must be leaving the
program in order to transfer ownership of the unit to a qualified adult child, unless
the parent is moving into a rental situation; e.g., Aspen Country Inn, or some
other deed-restricted retirement program should one be created. If the parent has
won another unit, they cannot transfer their current ownership unit to their adult
child. Staff is also requesting that the transfer fee of a unit to another qualified
household as stipulated in the Guidelines be increased to $200.
Page 30-33 Listed below are a few policy changes included in these pages:
• Additional language is being requested to require an owner of one deed-
restricted unit moving to another deed-restricted unit to list their first one
within 30 days.
Currently, a household can bid in their category or up into any other
categories. This allows for a Category 1 household to bid on Category 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and RO housing; therefore, the higher category households
have to compete with the lower categories as well as households within
their own category. Another issue is although a lower category household
may have the funds to purchase the higher cost unit, the day-to-day costs
and the HOA dues make it harder for the lower category household to
make ends meet. Staff is requesting that a household can bid in their
category and only one higher.
• Staff is requesting an additional priority be added under each type of unit
(i.e., studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom etc.). This last priority would
allow a retired qualified household (someone who worked here full-time
four years prior to retiring), but has never entered into any rental or lottery
program of APCHA's, the ability to purchase a deed restricted unit.
All of the other pages with changes are for further clarification, to indicate the staff's procedure
on a specific policy, or to make it easier to read and understand.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is requesting that City Council and the BOCC approve the
recommendations stated in the attached sections of the Guidelines.

176 INCOME CATEGORIES
177
178 Prior to 1990, income categories were designated as low, moderate or middle income in accordance with the
179 applicable guidelines at that time. In 1990, APCHA redefined the terms and established four income
18 0 categories in an effort to create a greater variety of units to serve the community's income levels., along with
181 Resident Occupied (RO). The four income categories were equated to the past income categories and
182 adjusted annually using the Conswner Price index (CPI). ht 2003, Categories 5, 6 and 7 were added.
183
184 Cturent income amounts were derived from 1999 data collected by the APCHA including. 1999 Housing
185 Survey of Pitkin County Employees; Colorado Department of Labor and Employment reports; Colorado
186 Department of Employment and Wages reports; U.S. Census Bureau: Flow of Funds Accounts Report and

MEMORANDUM
TO: Baazd of County Commissioners
FROM: Lance Clazke, Assistant Director Community Development
RE: Joint Meetings with Ciry of Aspen and Town of Snowmass Village
DATE: March 24, 2010
ISSUE FOR JOINT MEETINGS DISCUSSION: An item of inquiry for the Board in upwming
meetings with the Aspen City Council and the Snowmass Village Council might be how the respecfive
jurisdictions are dealing with "expired" building permits.
Virtually all building codes have a provision that aproject/permit is considered "abandoned" if there has
been no progress in any 180 day period. The recent economic downturn has put several projects in Pitkin
County in to this "abandonment" category.
The Board may want to ask Aspen and Snowmass how they are dealing with this issue. It is our
understanding that Aspen has adopted a policy to allow a six month extension on the standard 180 days.
County staff is currently undertaking a survey of other "resort" jurisdictions to see how this issue is being
dealt with azound the State.
